Wow... decent video quality, good form factor and apparently, decent build quality. But the software/firmware?? 'Frustrating' is the kindest word I can use.
I've had the front camera installed for a couple of months. Rear one is going to take some effort to install as cleanly as I want, so it's been on my to-do list. Original firmware had no issues with the rear camera being absent.
Wifi connectivity issues lead me to try a firmware upgrade. Version 2.004 was the newest, so why not? The answer to that would be 'because it's almost useless'. I couldn't get it to record more than a single 1 minute file at a time and it would boot successfully maybe 50% of the time. Misses the point of using a dashcam if it's only operational half the time... and if you can't get more than a minute of video...
So I downgraded to 1.011. Install gave me the audible message that it was upgrading, then that it was rebooting. But that was it. I manually rebooted again, still nothing. Can't connect or see the unit on wifi, even though the blue wifi indicator is lit. Looking at the card using the viewer, I see in the logs:

And on and on....
That suggests to me that their is an issue with not having the rear camera present. But I see nothing in the settings that would allow me to configure it as absent.
Or there is something else wrong. Bottom line, I have no recording capability and I've burned more hours on this than I'm happy to admit.
Does someone have an easy fix for this?? Or is there a version that I can consider at least *somewhat* reliable???
